@@mossthatrules77 Imo they tried to give arthur many layers that, while feel good in retrospective (his failed love life/fatherhood, his blind devotion, his countless bad deeds), they basically all round up to him being unable to leave the outlaw life (the only one he has ever known) and how it subsequently took him to the grave. When i think of john, i think of how he went from a selfish, inmature, hot headed jackass that called her girl a whore and his son a bastard; To that man struggling to breath due to the blood obstructing his throat and falling to his knees because of his inmesurable love to his family. He redeemed himself by letting his past catch up to him. It just moves me to tears I still love arthur, i finished prologue yesterday and am thinking of beginning a new game bc of him.

I think you already get an idea what is going to happen with RDR2. The graphics are awesome but what's most impressive is the increase in behavior and interaction with people/wildlife etc. You'll see AI be applied to make NPC's creepily real. So I think the biggest shift the next 10 years will be gameplay wise, instead of graphics wise.

Tall Trees always been creepy... back in 2013 I used to explore RDR myths (like the haunted house in Tumbleweed) and I heard a guy at Manzanita Post say the area was cursed Native land or something. There's a campfire at Manzanita Post in the first game that randomly dies out and starts again, as well as whispers you can hear at Bearclaw. Now we just have to worry about Skinners, and my theory is that along with Tall Trees being cursed land, in RDR1 it's also haunted by the people killed by the Skinners

No thanks, I'd rather have a new story than one I've already played through. Plus, a remaster would only improve the graphics, so you're not going to have one that plays anything like RDR2.
The game already runs in full native 4K on the Xbox one x and looks fucking beautiful, a remaster would be completely pointless and only idiots would buy it.
Is it just me or does New Austin feel slightly creepier in RDR2? It's so barren and empty, and the cholera epidemic going on and so on gives it an ominous vibe.
It's barren because it was less settled back then, but I think it's less creepy. Idk what it was about RDR1 but that entire game's vibe was just kinda creepy imo
I think compared to RDR1 it seems more creepy because like you said it’s so much quieter. In RDR1 you were always running into a stranger encounter or a group of bandits shooting up a town.
The only scary place in this game is imo Ambarino and Tall Trees. Tall Trees in the first game wasn't scary because snow is calming to me and all there was were bears. The bears killed you but it was in their instinct, so not really scary. But in this game? Skinners. Since tall trees is a pretty small place you run into their camps often. Ambarino is scary because it's unsettled and you rarely find anyone there, I only saw one person in Grizzlies West and they were running on a horse and I couldn't catch up to them
New Austin seems like fan service now, but there is no way in hell Rockstar remade that huge chunk of land for nothing. There is gonna be a DLC down there, I'm almost positive of it. Either the original game will be added or another story line because it is almost empty at the moment with the exception of exploring/hunting.
My thoughts too. I'm still on the "they'll update New Austin to 1911 buildings and tell the RDR story in this engine" camp. So much work already done, and PC gamers never got to play the original. Sell it as DLC if not including it as a surprise free update (hell, I'd buy again), and resell Undead Nightmare too. A ton of Rockstar content that is currently trapped on last-gen consoles and Rockstar do not like leaving their main games in the past like that. Even the old PS2 games got ports to both PS3 and PS4 (and mobile), only RDR is left hanging in the wind right now. And with this much work having gone into bringing New Austin into RDR2? At the very least, the VERY LEAST, they are keeping their options open.
Honestly, it might be just a treat for the fans who played RDR1. Or it might be needed for RD Online. GTA Online was set before the events of the single-player story, will RD Online be set AFTER? Maybe set in 1911 (same year as RDR1)?
Its probably gonna be used for multiplayer. No way they would let us explore it all in this game if they were gonna use it later for DLC. That seems kinda strange? What if new people use many hours playing there, then they add a DLC. Then they already explored everything
The only thing I wish RDR2 ported over was the ambient sounds and music. I feel like the birds/insects in 2 are much quieter as well the louder classic western background music in RDR1 I just prefered
Hate to be the bearer of good news, but it is a xbox one x enhanced game. See for yourself. As far as ps4 no bc...ps3 for ps users. and we won't ever get a port or dlc for that...
Doubt it, it took them nearly a decade to make red dead 2. You think they goner invest more time to make something that’s already there. I still think red dead 2 should have ended with Arthur’s story. John story feels out of place. New Austin is very nice place, l never got to play red dead 1. Shame there is no missions to do
@@ArthurKnight1899 Well, think about Vice City or San Andreas when you're in a helicopter and you only see geometric figures like cubes with no detail until you get close. RDR2 you will never notice that or some random object appearing out of thin air and that's an amazing feat not even GTA V managed to do.
I actually come away from this more impressed with the original RDR. Obviously the RDR2 graphics are a huge improvement, but the original still holds up in comparison to many modern day games. The differences here aren't as dramatic as i would have thought.
RDR1 came out in 2010 and was made to run on systems that had 512mb of RAM (Xbox 360) and 256mb of RAM (PS3) respectively. It's very impressive when you consider the hardware they had to work with, and it's even more impressive when you realize that they crammed the entire game in to a single DVD for the 360 version.
It also has better color palette, more natural looking imo. I think they really overused some lighting effects in RDR 2, it looks almost white when you look at the sun/moon at times, it really doesn't look good.
video games graphics evolution is getting slower and slower man, difference between PS1 PS2 and PS2 PS3 was huge, difference between PS3 and PS4 not that much, and i'm sure it will be even slower between PS4 and PS5
@@gplgs4640 the difference isn't that big compared to the difference between PS1 and PS2 and PS2 and PS3 dumbass, you would know if you weren't a 10 year old kid who discovered video games 2 years ago. Considering there is 8 fucking years between RDR1 and RDR2, yes, the difference is very small, go compare a game from 1998 with game from 2006 and the difference will be absolutly huge
Players: It would be so great if R* remade the first RDR into RDR2 as DLC. They already have more than half of the map, most of the original voice act- Online bullshit: NOPE!!
why would people ask rockstar to remake the same game with rdr2 mechanics when you can play RDR1 by buying it on PS4 store or via backwards compatibility on Xbox one? i would preffer Undead Nightmare II as a DLC for rdr2 rather than play the first game again... also they would prebably cut something out from the original RDR since not every VA would be present... just buy RDR and play it instead of asking for a remake... it's not that old and it still is very fun even with the old mechanics...
Great job. Thanks for doing this. I've noticed a lot of differences in the towns, but one thing I had forgotten about RDR1 was that there was a lot more people and traffic (being later in time the towns were more populated and advanced in terms of commerce). Very cool.
But rdr2 uses most of the riffs from the forst game go stand down in armidillo. You saying thia one isnt as good is false its as good or better because it has the old tracks in it. The more you know.
the music was so much better in RDR1, it has this hint of Ennio Morricone in the strings, had like an almost unsettling atmosphere at certain parts. it was so unique and cinematic. the new one was like american backwoods banjo style which makes sense in the game world but wasnt as vibrant of an atmosphere created. i just kept thinking constantly that I missed the old soundtrack as i played
Rdr1 is at the same time more creepy and more satirical at the same time. It's hard to compare the stories of RDR1 and RDR2, RDR2's story is more deep and complex, but doesn't have the same satire as the first game.
8 años y RDR se ve muy bien. Claramente el vídeo no compara gráficos porque sino ganaría RDR2, pero es increíble ver que los edificios que se estaban construyendo en el segundo, en el primero ya lo están. La cronología de Rockstar es increíble, no se saltan ni un detalle.
Angry Commander I got the peaceful ending and I just tell myself he did just that. Hung out on top of the rock for a while, got his TB cured by the Indians and told Charles to fake his death by creating a grave for him.
Wow I forgot rdr2 took place before rdr. It’s awesome seeing the unfinished buildings and stuff. Cool to see the devs pay attention to detail rather than copy and paste the buildings
Back when RDR was released, about the only thing I wanted changed, map-wise, was for Tumbleweed to be a populated, normal town. Pretty cool that Rockstar made that happen in RDR2.
One thing that bothered me is the lack of the barn at mcfarlanes ranch, if you go back and play the second mission in the original bonnie mentions her father built it when she was just a little girl yet it hasn't been built in this game yet...
The reveal of new Austin was such a love letter to the first game. Red dead 1 still looks good and is still an amazing game. Possibly the 2 finest games of their generations
If they brought back the music from RDR1 into RDR2 and if Arthur's story were allowed to head into New Austin I'd have love to seen him interact with some of the RDR1 characters.
@@maximkikena622 ok boomer . Why not you try to be a man and not to run and hide after commenting some bullshit? You sure you go home with that atittude? Bless you
I hate to say it but I really hate the end of the game... correction I love the way the game ended I hate that I have to be playing as John now I lost my good horses and now he can't swim and he sucks at drawing so I don't even want to go and discover new locations and get a five-year-old's sketch of it
I remember being so blown away the first time I entered Blackwater in the first Red Dead Redemption. Looking back at it now, comparing it to Saint Denis, it looks so small. Imagine how I felt walking through Saint Denis for the first time, though!
finding half of the rdr1 inside rdr2 felt like what you wished happened when you try to go to the out of bounds in most games. the map just went on and on when i was exploring it
My mind is totally blown by this game. Not only was it an incredibly lengthy and masterfully told story with a bittersweet ending, with vivid and deep gameplay and detail - it also gives you a huge nostalgia trip that I personally didn't see coming (I knew Blackwater and Great plains would open up but had no idea I could also visit armadillo, tumbleweed etc.). If they really did just put New Austin in there for the nostalgia then that is a beautifully daring move. Though I hope there's a RDR1 DLC. Bravo rockstar. Truly the best game ever made.
Honestly, the first game still looks REALLY good, I thought looking back on it now it might look really bad in comparison, but it looks great, still. I haven't really played it since it first came out and I completed it
I notice when I got down to the basin where Armadillo is in RDR2 I started having major silly buggers happen to me trying to equip my rifle and shotgun arms to my body whilst on the horse. I'd do so, dismount and they would immediately disappear like magic off my back which started pissing me off, esp when I died mucking around trying to get this BS to work. I found constantly having to reequip my arms in game during the story missions from the horse a real pain. If you equip them they should stay so everytime you dismount. As OWEN's elderly MOMMA said in Throw Momma From The Train: "PAIN IN THE ASS!"
Hayden Rhead Oh Yeah, didnt even recognize Buffalos comment. Instantly thought it was adressed to me. Yeah I think he doesnt know what the point of a Remaster or, in this case, of a Remake is.
They did a great job of putting in the rdr1 map and utilising it in the epilogue. Just wish they added mexico as well but that could potentially be added in over time.
God, the attention to detail they put into this, down to the fucking angle of the small hills and whatnot. It's cool to see that John's ranch isn't even there, there's just a shitty little shack, and that some of the town's are still under construction, like Blackwater.
Oh my GAAAWWWDDD !! I fell in love with playing red dead 1 and it still holds a special place in my heart. That game really changed my life.. and now that I've upgraded to a new console and playing red dead 2... It just SOOOOO surreal and soooo exhilarating!!! You can really feel the difference between the two games... Idk bout u guys but I feel more tension in the story and gameplay of red dead 2.. it's just a whole different t experience filled with so much things to do!!! I luv both games and both games have changed my life forever!
Blackwater managed to change that much in the 4 years between the epilogue and the first game, yet 8 years passed between the end of the main story and the epilogue and all they managed to do was finish the house in Valentine lol
Red Dead Redemption had better controls, quicker reactions still looks amazing today, GTA V was fun but not as engaging (for me at least) now RDR2 is a technical masterpiece but it's perfection is also its downfall as I don't find it as engaging, the pace is far slower and it actually feels less of a western when actually being set in 1899 it should feel more of one
There are some things that don't make sense. There SHOULD be a barn in Macfarlane's Ranch, as Bonnie stated in the first game that it was built when she was a little girl. And there are quite a few buildings missing in Macfarlane's Ranch and in Thieve's Landing. I doubt all of those buildings were built in under the span of just 4 years, cause some of them looked pretty old and weathered to me.
Also Blackwater/West Elizabeth has no railway, which is in the very first cutscene when Ross & Archer escort him from the ferry... Just a bizarre amount of discrepancies to be resolved in 4 years.
By “back than” i meant that red dead 2 takes place before red dead 1 and so i t has better graphics.. that’s the joke lol Back than the jokes didn’t fly over like this lol
Yeah it's shame. I think original plan was starting in NA to steamboat and Blackwater massacre then on snow area but they scrapped it for some reasons.
+360Ragequit The map had drastic changes after reveal, making it look fake now. They removed some of north part, expanded west part and prison island is bigger. All that was because of NA... Well at least if PC port be there people won't brag about not getting RDR on PC because NA looks more like fan service while it's completely useless because it has death invisible wall for Arthur. And because it doesn't add anything with the story, seems very fishy when it started from the snow instead of from NA to steamboat and Blackwater massacre then on snow.
04:37 no se ustedes amigos, pero en ese momento del video prefiero el RDR 1, me gusta mas la profundidad de campo que utiliza y la iluminación sobria de ese cerro, en el 2 se ve como que muy saturado y sin profundidad, y la vida real no es así.
RDR is my favorite game of all time. RDR2 took everything RDR had and improved on it, except for the story. Don't get me wrong I really enjoyed RDR2's story but it wasn't quite on the same level as RDR, and I'd take a good story over graphics and game mechanics any day.
LRZN one thing I did not enjoy was that if you shoot someone with a revolver in the face more then 5 times it explodes like I get it with a shotgun but sometimes you just want to put bullet holes everywhere on someone’s face.

I think compared to RDR1 it seems more creepy because like you said it’s so much quieter. In RDR1 you were always running into a stranger encounter or a group of bandits shooting up a town.
The only scary place in this game is imo Ambarino and Tall Trees. Tall Trees in the first game wasn't scary because snow is calming to me and all there was were bears. The bears killed you but it was in their instinct, so not really scary. But in this game? Skinners. Since tall trees is a pretty small place you run into their camps often. Ambarino is scary because it's unsettled and you rarely find anyone there, I only saw one person in Grizzlies West and they were running on a horse and I couldn't catch up to them
Deserts never seem creepy to me not even at night. I feel much safer in new Austin than in bayou nwa, Roanoke ridge, and tall trees.

New Austin seems like fan service now, but there is no way in hell Rockstar remade that huge chunk of land for nothing. There is gonna be a DLC down there, I'm almost positive of it. Either the original game will be added or another story line because it is almost empty at the moment with the exception of exploring/hunting.
My thoughts too. I'm still on the "they'll update New Austin to 1911 buildings and tell the RDR story in this engine" camp. So much work already done, and PC gamers never got to play the original. Sell it as DLC if not including it as a surprise free update (hell, I'd buy again), and resell Undead Nightmare too. A ton of Rockstar content that is currently trapped on last-gen consoles and Rockstar do not like leaving their main games in the past like that. Even the old PS2 games got ports to both PS3 and PS4 (and mobile), only RDR is left hanging in the wind right now. And with this much work having gone into bringing New Austin into RDR2? At the very least, the VERY LEAST, they are keeping their options open.
@@TheHongKongHermit If Rockstar brings back RDR/Undead Nightmare and makes the wanted system slightly better, then I'll be happy
Honestly, it might be just a treat for the fans who played RDR1.
Or it might be needed for RD Online. GTA Online was set before the events of the single-player story, will RD Online be set AFTER? Maybe set in 1911 (same year as RDR1)?
@@priceG Of course NA will be used for online but I have a feeling the single player will get a nice dlc for this game
Its probably gonna be used for multiplayer. No way they would let us explore it all in this game if they were gonna use it later for DLC. That seems kinda strange? What if new people use many hours playing there, then they add a DLC. Then they already explored everything
Me : No other game will top off GTA 5
Rockstar: Hold my beer
Lol Rockstar always topping their previous games.
gta 5 is shit, man
San Andreas was better than gta v ffs. Nothing to do in gtav after the story was over.

The only thing I wish RDR2 ported over was the ambient sounds and music. I feel like the birds/insects in 2 are much quieter as well the louder classic western background music in RDR1 I just prefered
I really hope they make a dlc with the remade rdr1, i want to see blackwater and armadillo with life again with this graphics!!

Diego Moreno no
Hate to be the bearer of good news, but it is a xbox one x enhanced game. See for yourself. As far as ps4 no bc...ps3 for ps users. and we won't ever get a port or dlc for that...
I was just saying we can have a whole RDR1 remake.with this map
Doubt it, it took them nearly a decade to make red dead 2. You think they goner invest more time to make something that’s already there. I still think red dead 2 should have ended with Arthur’s story. John story feels out of place. New Austin is very nice place, l never got to play red dead 1. Shame there is no missions to do

I think the most impressive technical feat of RDR2 is the lack of popping and the amazing draw distance compared to RDR and other open world games.
yes that's what impressed me most... going high on a mountain and seeing the whole map is crazy, even GTA V didn't have that much draw distance
Rockstar had that shit down before anyone else, they're pioneering in it again

PurpleHayez XIX lol
@@blessedxxiii5583 lol bro rdr2 has much much better and beautiful graphics
Reclaimer XXIII that’s just false
True
I actually come away from this more impressed with the original RDR. Obviously the RDR2 graphics are a huge improvement, but the original still holds up in comparison to many modern day games. The differences here aren't as dramatic as i would have thought.
RDR1 came out in 2010 and was made to run on systems that had 512mb of RAM (Xbox 360) and 256mb of RAM (PS3) respectively. It's very impressive when you consider the hardware they had to work with, and it's even more impressive when you realize that they crammed the entire game in to a single DVD for the 360 version.
It also has better color palette, more natural looking imo. I think they really overused some lighting effects in RDR 2, it looks almost white when you look at the sun/moon at times, it really doesn't look good.
video games graphics evolution is getting slower and slower man, difference between PS1 PS2 and PS2 PS3 was huge, difference between PS3 and PS4 not that much, and i'm sure it will be even slower between PS4 and PS5

No, red dead one still a better game.

To many animations and interactions to remake for no point
Maxim Kik unrealistic?
why would people ask rockstar to remake the same game with rdr2 mechanics when you can play RDR1 by buying it on PS4 store or via backwards compatibility on Xbox one? i would preffer Undead Nightmare II as a DLC for rdr2 rather than play the first game again... also they would prebably cut something out from the original RDR since not every VA would be present... just buy RDR and play it instead of asking for a remake... it's not that old and it still is very fun even with the old mechanics...

How cool would it be if they offered RDR1 as an addon in the future? Seems like they left New Austin open for a reason.
either that or a dlc.. it's also surely going to play a big part online I bet
It's the only way they can port rdr1 to pc.
Well tech john was never supposed to be there according to rdr1
Great job. Thanks for doing this. I've noticed a lot of differences in the towns, but one thing I had forgotten about RDR1 was that there was a lot more people and traffic (being later in time the towns were more populated and advanced in terms of commerce). Very cool.
donno why but I guess rdr 1 had better western background music in comparison to the 2nd installation
"Donno why", It's very easy to figure it out, it's just your opinion that RDR had better western background music.
But rdr2 uses most of the riffs from the forst game go stand down in armidillo. You saying thia one isnt as good is false its as good or better because it has the old tracks in it. The more you know.
the music was so much better in RDR1, it has this hint of Ennio Morricone in the strings, had like an almost unsettling atmosphere at certain parts. it was so unique and cinematic. the new one was like american backwoods banjo style which makes sense in the game world but wasnt as vibrant of an atmosphere created. i just kept thinking constantly that I missed the old soundtrack as i played
Jason Hammond same here, mate
Rdr1 is at the same time more creepy and more satirical at the same time. It's hard to compare the stories of RDR1 and RDR2, RDR2's story is more deep and complex, but doesn't have the same satire as the first game.
8 años y RDR se ve muy bien. Claramente el vídeo no compara gráficos porque sino ganaría RDR2, pero es increíble ver que los edificios que se estaban construyendo en el segundo, en el primero ya lo están. La cronología de Rockstar es increíble, no se saltan ni un detalle.

RDR1 had a hauntingness to it that RDR2 simply does not.
Gives the feeling of nostalgia for something that has yet to be. Well done, Rockstar.
I love seeing how close everything is to the locations we see in the first game but still different enough to know time’s past
I don't know why, but in my opinion RDR1 has a darker atmosphere than RDR2
Yeah while in RDR2 there is sadness and happyiness in RDR1 there is only sadness and no happy end 😢

Why’s it disappointing?? it’s almost like there should be people living in a cholera ridden town right?
Is it possible to shoot up Tumbleweed and kill everyone there, turning it into a ghost town again?
doubt it, I'm assuming the town will just respawn when you are away@@gplgs4640
Back when RDR was released, about the only thing I wanted changed, map-wise, was for Tumbleweed to be a populated, normal town. Pretty cool that Rockstar made that happen in RDR2.
Both games are incredible. And the way they tied 2 into 1 in the way that they did was amazing. Was not expecting it at all
the first game has this depressing and eerie vibe throughout the entire playthough and this video sort of shows that
Hats off rockstar.Im speechless
Yo why does RDR1 graphics looks so good even tho it's been 11 years since it got released
One thing that bothered me is the lack of the barn at mcfarlanes ranch, if you go back and play the second mission in the original bonnie mentions her father built it when she was just a little girl yet it hasn't been built in this game yet...
@DChief94 Early mission dialogue where Bonnie rides around the ranch with John
Huh? Of course the barn is already built and they built more of it 4 years later. How is that so hard to understand? 😂

Marshal irish landon
Bonnie’s house was one of my favorite places to visit in the 2nd game
The reveal of new Austin was such a love letter to the first game. Red dead 1 still looks good and is still an amazing game. Possibly the 2 finest games of their generations
If they brought back the music from RDR1 into RDR2 and if Arthur's story were allowed to head into New Austin I'd have love to seen him interact with some of the RDR1 characters.
I played RDR2 and then RDR1 and it felt so weird because it feels like they're both the same game

My mind is totally blown by this game. Not only was it an incredibly lengthy and masterfully told story with a bittersweet ending, with vivid and deep gameplay and detail - it also gives you a huge nostalgia trip that I personally didn't see coming (I knew Blackwater and Great plains would open up but had no idea I could also visit armadillo, tumbleweed etc.).
If they really did just put New Austin in there for the nostalgia then that is a beautifully daring move. Though I hope there's a RDR1 DLC. Bravo rockstar. Truly the best game ever made.
Honestly, the first game still looks REALLY good, I thought looking back on it now it might look really bad in comparison, but it looks great, still. I haven't really played it since it first came out and I completed it
I notice when I got down to the basin where Armadillo is in RDR2 I started having major silly buggers happen to me trying to equip my rifle and shotgun arms to my body whilst on the horse. I'd do so, dismount and they would immediately disappear like magic off my back which started pissing me off, esp when I died mucking around trying to get this BS to work.
I found constantly having to reequip my arms in game during the story missions from the horse a real pain. If you equip them they should stay so everytime you dismount.
As OWEN's elderly MOMMA said in Throw Momma From The Train: "PAIN IN THE ASS!"
Yeah its so annoying always needing to get your guns from the horse as sidearms are dog shit
And now just imagine how awesome it would be if Rockstar would remaster RDR1 in form of a DLC for RDR2! Wouldnt mind to pay at least 20 or 30 bucks!
Wheres the problem? Should I say remake?
Hayden Rhead Oh Yeah, didnt even recognize Buffalos comment. Instantly thought it was adressed to me. Yeah I think he doesnt know what the point of a Remaster or, in this case, of a Remake is.
They did a great job of putting in the rdr1 map and utilising it in the epilogue. Just wish they added mexico as well but that could potentially be added in over time.
God, the attention to detail they put into this, down to the fucking angle of the small hills and whatnot. It's cool to see that John's ranch isn't even there, there's just a shitty little shack, and that some of the town's are still under construction, like Blackwater.
You build the ranch in the epilogue.
Oh my GAAAWWWDDD !! I fell in love with playing red dead 1 and it still holds a special place in my heart. That game really changed my life.. and now that I've upgraded to a new console and playing red dead 2... It just SOOOOO surreal and soooo exhilarating!!! You can really feel the difference between the two games... Idk bout u guys but I feel more tension in the story and gameplay of red dead 2.. it's just a whole different t experience filled with so much things to do!!!

I wonder if that was supposed to be a reference to GTA since grand theft auto means stealing a car
Red Dead Redemption had better controls, quicker reactions still looks amazing today, GTA V was fun but not as engaging (for me at least) now RDR2 is a technical masterpiece but it's perfection is also its downfall as I don't find it as engaging, the pace is far slower and it actually feels less of a western when actually being set in 1899 it should feel more of one
Because it's not set in western lmao.
I hate how John looks like a completely different person in rdr2
There are some things that don't make sense.
There SHOULD be a barn in Macfarlane's Ranch, as Bonnie stated in the first game that it was built when she was a little girl.
And there are quite a few buildings missing in Macfarlane's Ranch and in Thieve's Landing. I doubt all of those buildings were built in under the span of just 4 years, cause some of them looked pretty old and weathered to me.
Ikr
Also Blackwater/West Elizabeth has no railway, which is in the very first cutscene when Ross & Archer escort him from the ferry...
Just a bizarre amount of discrepancies to be resolved in 4 years.
well back then the graphics looked much better lol
Hell na
WTF!?
Get a pair of glasses young man
By “back than” i meant that red dead 2 takes place before red dead 1 and so i t has better graphics.. that’s the joke lol
Back than the jokes didn’t fly over like this lol
Then what?
Thieve's Landing looks so different in RDR2. Took me a minute to realize where I even was at first
New Austin is soo empty in rd2 there isn’t anything to do no quests or anything.
Maybe its empty because of the Cholera plague.
Yeah it's shame. I think original plan was starting in NA to steamboat and Blackwater massacre then on snow area but they scrapped it for some reasons.
+360Ragequit The map had drastic changes after reveal, making it look fake now. They removed some of north part, expanded west part and prison island is bigger.
All that was because of NA... Well at least if PC port be there people won't brag about not getting RDR on PC because NA looks more like fan service while it's completely useless because it has death invisible wall for Arthur.
And because it doesn't add anything with the story, seems very fishy when it started from the snow instead of from NA to steamboat and Blackwater massacre then on snow.
Just wait for online or an dlc
Joon - young finish chapter 6 after arthur dayin you will see many quests with jhon on black water
Red dead 1 still looks amazing
The video doesn’t focus on it but the soundtrack in all the RDR clips creates atmosphere that RDR2 doesn’t even come close to
04:37 no se ustedes amigos, pero en ese momento del video prefiero el RDR 1, me gusta mas la profundidad de campo que utiliza y la iluminación sobria de ese cerro, en el 2 se ve como que muy saturado y sin profundidad, y la vida real no es así.
En eso puede que tengas razon los graficos del RDR 1 realmente lucen como un western pero en si la calidad grafica del 2 es muy superior a la del 1
Puede ser por la hora del día o el clima en parte, en RDR1 casi nunca está completamente soleado

It's because the landmass in rdr1 is actually a bit bigger than in rdr2.
People who are saying that RDR1 is more western.
RDR1 is cartoon western that you see on TV.
RDR2 is realistic western
Interesting.. sometimes it looks more modern in the first game and sometimes it looks more modern in the second game.
RDR1 has aged incredibly well. It is still a great looking game.
Red Dead Redemption still looks fucking amazing eight years later.
RDR is my favorite game of all time. RDR2 took everything RDR had and improved on it, except for the story. Don't get me wrong I really enjoyed RDR2's story but it wasn't quite on the same level as RDR, and I'd take a good story over graphics and game mechanics any day.
LRZN one thing I did not enjoy was that if you shoot someone with a revolver in the face more then 5 times it explodes like I get it with a shotgun but sometimes you just want to put bullet holes everywhere on someone’s face.
You can see that RDR1 was made in that era when, for some reason, all games were trying to be brown and grey, like Gears of War.
Yep. See fallout too.
Rdr1 is also one of the brighter and most colorful games I've ever seen, so you're dead wrong in this analogy. Gta 4 maybe
I actually go back to MacFarland's ranch and waited outside Bonnie's house. Too bad nothing happens.
